Summary

• Classically, manipulations of the cranium address the sutures, the membranes and the circulation of cerebral spinal fluid.

• The proper functioning of these elements requires not only the mechanical harmony of the craniosacral system, but relies also on the exchange of information organized around proprioceptors, baroreceptors and chemoreceptors.

• These receptors are extremely sensitive.

• It is the nervous system -cranial nerves and the autonomic nervous system - which transports this intelligence.

• Neural dysfunctions have, therefore the ability to disturb the fundamental components of the primary respiratory mechanism.
